Beechworth

After finally getting back from the town and country walk we drove to Beechworth Bakery for a very late lunch at 3pm. To our surprise the place was packed; and many of the patrons were buying lunch!

The old Beechworth buildings and streets are beautiful. It’s one of the few Victorian towns that has its gold mining heritage intact. On our last day we visited Fiddes Quarry, Ingram’s Rock and The Precipice which were missed on the Town and Country Walk. Then another lunch at Beechworth Bakery with a beesting for dessert. Next a visit to Lake Sambell and Woolshed Falls.

Instead of going home back the same way on the Hume Highway we went home via Myrtleford and Mansfield; then it was too dark to see anything much. It was about 15 minutes longer but we missed a major delay on the Hume due to an accident.
